Sorry to hear this. I too wish it were true that the country were coming out of it, but I promise you, that isn't the case.

Just an insert, my Co. is in chapter 11 proceedings and our contract ends Aug.31st of this year, all court hearings have been posponed till August 31, were going to get hammered with all kind of cuts, our union isn't strong anymore, none are these days. Praying for a turnaround, good luck again..

I see your green light is still on. Maybe good news? Or did you leave us on on after you are gone so we can hack and infiltrate the company's mainframe and rehire you secretely.

Seriously, I hate to hear this. I will call you this afternoon.
I thought the other company was going to hire you guys.
